Pedestal-Mount Natural Gas Grills for Apartment Living

11 minute read | Grills

Grilling is one of the most popular ways to cook food at home. It not only enhances the flavor of your meals but also offers a healthier alternative to frying or boiling. While grilling has traditionally been associated with meat and fish, you can now grill a wide variety of foods, including vegetables like cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, and even fruits such as watermelon. New techniques and recipes are constantly emerging, making grilling more versatile than ever.

Most grills are typically found in the backyards of single-family homes. However, if you're managing an apartment complex, you know that residents often wish they had access to a convenient outdoor space for grilling. Even without a backyard, offering tenants a dedicated area to grill can greatly enhance their living experience and make the community more attractive.

Challenges of Grilling in Apartments

Installing grills in apartment buildings can be tricky. For example, grilling on a balcony can be unsafe due to limited space and fire hazards. Many local fire codes prohibit grilling on balconies because of the risk of fires. This makes it difficult for apartment residents to enjoy grilling unless there's a safe, designated area available.

Many apartment complexes offer shared outdoor spaces, such as picnic tables or covered patios. However, these areas are often underused. Residents may forget they exist or find them inconvenient to access. Encouraging their use can be a challenge, especially when people have busy schedules.

A Practical Solution for Apartment Grilling

One effective way to address both the lack of grilling space and underused outdoor areas is by installing commercial-grade grills in common outdoor spaces. Grilling is something many residents would love to do if it’s easy and accessible. By adding grills, you not only enhance your property’s amenities but also encourage more people to use the shared outdoor areas.

During good weather, tenants will likely take advantage of the opportunity to grill for family and friends. These gatherings can create a sense of community and make your apartments more appealing to future renters.

Selecting the Right Grills for Your Complex

To make your outdoor space inviting, consider creating a natural environment with trees, grass, and picnic tables. Residents just need to bring their food and start grilling. Adding a tent or pavilion can provide shade and protection from the sun or rain, making the space comfortable for all ages.

Pedestal-mounted grills are perfect for apartment complexes with limited outdoor space. They take up minimal room and allow you to place multiple units in a small area, giving more residents the chance to grill. You can also promote usage by hosting events or offering grilling classes for those who are new to the process.

Best Grills for Apartment Communities

PGS offers a range of natural gas grills that can be mounted on pedestals, making them ideal for apartment settings. These grills are securely anchored to the ground, eliminating the need for gas canisters. The natural gas line runs through the pedestal, allowing users to simply turn on the gas and light the grill.

Natural gas grills are clean, easy to use, and perfect for beginners. The T30NG and T40NG models are particularly well-suited for pedestal mounts. They can be installed in multiple areas to serve a large number of residents efficiently.

T30NG Natural Gas Grill – Perfect for Small Spaces

The PGS T30NG patio grill is a great option for smaller outdoor areas. It features an aluminum housing and a FuelStop® one-hour gas flow timer, which automatically turns off the gas after an hour for added safety. This feature ensures that no grill is left unattended for too long, preventing fuel waste and potential hazards.

The T30NG includes a stainless steel burner system that heats up quickly and uses fuel efficiently. It comes with a one-year parts warranty for commercial use. Additional features include:

T40NG Natural Gas Grill – More Space, Same Safety

The T40NG model is similar to the T30NG but offers more cooking space and a higher BTU output. It also includes the same one-hour gas flow timer and safety features. With its larger size and efficient design, the T40NG is ideal for apartment complexes that want to accommodate more residents at once.

Key features of the T40NG include:

  • 40,000 BTU
  • 434 sq. in. cooking surface
